Strong high pressure stays relatively stationary over the Mid-Atlantic region for the remainder of the week and even into the upcoming weekend. As a result, there should be plenty of sunshine and rain-free conditions in the region on a daily basis right through the weekend. Next week may feature a rain event on Tuesday followed by a cold shot on Wednesday.
Read MoreThe coolest air mass of the season so far is now fully entrenched in the Mid-Atlantic region and the day will start off on a chilly note in the DC metro region. With light winds and clear skies expected overnight, the conditions will be ripe for some patchy frost to form in outlying areas. Strong high pressure has expanded into the Mid-Atlantic region from the Midwest and it will stay in control of our weather right through the upcoming weekend.
Read MoreA cold frontal system passed through the region late last night and has ushered in the coolest air mass of the season so far and it will stick around into mid-week. In fact, temperatures late tonight should drop to near the 40 degree mark in many suburban locations and frost is even possible to the north and west in nearby places like the valleys west of the Blue Ridge. Strong high pressure will expand eastward from the Upper Midwest later today and control the weather pattern around here right through the rest of the week.
Read MoreStrong high pressure draped across southeastern Canada will continue to keep a cool, moist ocean flow of air in place for the region as we close out the work week. As a result, temperatures will remain on the cool side today and there can be some more light rain or drizzle at times. By tomorrow, this area of high pressure will push off the Canadian east coast and our low-level winds will shift to more of a south-to-southwest direction. This will allow us to become warmer on Saturday despite some clouds and perhaps make it to the lower 80’s by Sunday afternoon. Another cold front will arrive here on Sunday night – perhaps with some light rain shower activity – and then another strong high pressure system will expand eastward from the Upper Midwest and we’ll turn cool again for the first half of the new work week.
Read MoreStrong high pressure draped across southeastern Canada will keep a cool, moist ocean flow of air in place for the next couple of days in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor. As a result, temperatures will remain on the cool side; especially, when compared to the recent unusual warmth, and there can be some light rain or drizzle at just about any time into tomorrow night. By the weekend, this strong high pressure system will push off the coastline and our low-level winds will shift to more of a south-to-southwest direction and we’ll turn warmer - perhaps reaching the low 80'sby Sunday afternoon. Another cold front will arrive here on Sunday night – perhaps with some light rain shower activity – and then strong high pressure will expand eastward from the Upper Midwest and we’ll turn cooler again to begin the new work week.
Read MoreOctober has been well above-normal so far in the I-95 corridor (PHL +8.2°, DC +7.1°, NYC +8.7°), but the next few days will feature some cooler air as an ocean flow develops as a result of strengthening high pressure across southeastern Canada. A cold frontal passage will usher in the cooler air mass and it should generate occasional showers today and tonight. The next couple of days will feature plenty of clouds, a cool breeze from off of the ocean, and the threat for some light rain or drizzle at times. Warmer weather will return to the region this weekend along with an increase in the amount of sunshine for both days.
Read MoreToday will turn out to be quite warm with highs near the 80 degree mark, but a cold front will slide through the area and the rest of the work week will become noticeably cooler. High pressure from Canada will try to take control of the weather for the second half of the week, but it’ll stay somewhat unsettled with an ocean flow and the chance for some light rain or drizzle at times in the cooler air mass.
Read MoreThe remains of Hurricane Nate will bring some much needed rain to the Mid-Atlantic region today alleviating the dry conditions of recent weeks. High pressure will try to build back into the region by mid-week and our temperatures will become quite comfortable for this time of year during the latter half of the week, but weather conditions will remain unsettled with occasional showers or drizzle possible in the cooler air mass.
Read MoreTropical Storm Nate is headed north-northwest today towards the eastern Yucatan Peninsula and then will move into the central Gulf of Mexico on Saturday. Nate could very well intensify into hurricane status by late Saturday over the warm waters of the central Gulf of Mexico and then continue northward right towards the Louisiana/Mississippi border region by very early Sunday. After that, Nate is likely to take a turn to the northeast and move through the Tennessee Valley on Monday and into the interior part of the Mid-Atlantic. This potential path will likely bring some significant rainfall to the Mid-Atlantic region later Sunday night and Monday - which is welcome news for the area considering the very dry weather of the past few weeks.
Read MoreThe Mid-Atlantic region has been very dry over the past few weeks with high pressure generally in control of our overall weather pattern. This dry spell could come to an end over the next several days with some scattered shower activity in the near term and then more significant rainfall is possible early next from the remains of what is now Tropical Storm Nate. This tropical system is likely to head in a general northward direction over the next couple of days - likely moving over the Yucatan Peninsula region of Mexico - and then spill out over the Gulf of Mexico by the weekend. By later in the weekend, Tropical Storm Nate could very well reach hurricane status as it likely heads towards the central Gulf states of Louisiana, Mississippi and/or Alabama - a bit farther west than earlier thoughts of the Florida Panhandle.
